Death Wishlist, the explosive quintet hailing from Tuscany, Italy, have released their debut album, You Are Next. The record promises a raucous fusion of ’77 punk-rock and high-octane rock ‘n roll, encapsulating the raw essence of their unapologetic individuality.
Inspired by the rebellious spirit of bands like Backyard Babies, Hellacopters, and Sex Pistols, Death Wishlist’s lyrical narratives traverse personal anecdotes, societal critiques, and existential musings. “Lyrics deal with my personal experiences with people, with attacks to politicians and religion seen as psychosis,” recounts Cosimo.
Reflecting on the erratic times, Cosimo says, “The name Death Wishlist means ‘the list of the people I’d like to see dead,’ an idea born during the Covid-19 curfew.”
Amidst it, this idea emerged as a defiant response to what he describes as “silly laws pretending to fight the contagion.” This evocative moniker serves as a visceral reminder of the band’s unyielding spirit and their commitment to confronting societal injustices through their music.
